She was nominated just because she remains enormously popular (trust me as the Dad of a 13 year old girl I know of what I speak). He latest album came out 10 days ago,now if she gets shut out next year then I will believe that the Country music elite are tired of her teen angst country-pop songs

If that is the case, they should just shut down the CMAs completely because country music is literally a neverending minefield of angst and sorrow. I'm not much of a fan of country, but I do listen to it on occasion and I'll be the first to tell you that adult angst country-pop songs aren't any more tolerable than their teen counterparts.

Is she even really country anymore? I mean, you are going to tell me "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is a country song? In that case, I am incensed that Katy Perry didn't even get nominated for any CMAs!

Although, it did give us the very good Breaking Bad parody of the song/video... Link

Much of country music is a catalog of the causality and condition of arrested development.

Hahaha, I get it subby, you're trying to say that the ACM farked her. The only problem with that is it implies that she should have won but got cheated, when in fact that vacuous twit got exactly what she deserved. She has absolutely no talent or skill as a vocalist or a performer or a songwriter, but she has this cute "girl next door" look to her so she gets to make millions of dollars. Personally I see her popularity among younger people as a sign that the younger generation has severely low standards.

The CMAs writhed all over her for a half hour, failed to become erect and then moped around the house all evening before muttering something about having to get up early, kissing her lightly on the cheek, avoiding eye contact and driving home without even turning on the radio so it could hear the sound of failure rushing by in the night air?

WhippingBoy:Country music nowadays is just regurgitated pop music with a steel guitar-twang and an incredibly transparently fake "just plain folks" vibe.

Whenever I hear some guy (or gal) with a net-worth in the tens of millions singing about the trials and tribulations of "living in a double-wide", part of my soul dies.

Snoop Dogg got nominated. And Lionel Richie. And the Civil Wars. Taylor wasn't even the least-country person there last night. Country can't hang on to banjos and twang forever. That's just how music is going these days. Genres have gotten tossed in a blender and set to 'frappe'. Country is no different. People sing what they like, and as a result, the most popular country singer in the world drops dubstep on everyone and calls it one of her favorite tracks on the album.

I swear to whatever unholy deity is listening that if I go into one more farking bar where some fat swamp donkey plays that god damn song on the jukebox or sings it for karaoke I'm barring the doors and starting a Sambuca fire.

It was a good song, I should have said, over play did kill it, but it was the first decent pop country song that I could think of.

/get off my lawn

I'm pretty sure I just fell in love with you for that statement!

/We get it, Taylor - you got dumped. Welcome to the world!//Kanye may have been in the right....
